As one of the oldest professional teams in the NFL, the Chicago Bears have been a totally dominating team from almost the get-go. Pre-Super Bowl, the Chicago Bears ticket holders nicknamed the team the “Monsters of the Midway” and rightly so. The Chicago Bears won eight NFL championships. Since the beginning of the Super Bowl in the 1970's though, the team has only seen one championship.

About The Chicago Bears
In the early days, the Chicago Bears were headed by owner George Halas and a squad of well known names like Red Grange, Sid Luckman, Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus. The team became famous for the T-formation, a play with two running backs in the backfield. With this play in the 1940's during the championship game, the Chicago Bears destroyed the Redskins 73-0.
The merger of the AFL and NFL in 1970 began the end of the dominating team of the Chicago Bears. Throughout the 1970's the team struggled with only one bright spot through the decade. The drafting of Walter Payton gave fans something to cheer for. His running style made a highlight reel fixture and would make him the NFL's leading rusher until 2002 when Emmitt Smith would pass him.
Payton was at his best before the Chicago Bears ticket holding fans would see the team return to dominance. This turn around began with the teams hiring of Mike Ditka in 1982 as the Chicago Bears head coach. Ditka and the rest of the defense dominated the entire league in 1985, finishing the season 15-1, losing only to the Miami Dolphins late in the season. The team was so cocky they taped a music video before the Super Bowl called the “Super Bowl Shuffle”.
The Chicago Bears ticket holders favored the team over the Patriots and the Chicago Bears would make them proud with a 46-10 victory. After the win the team kept much of their same roster but the team with all of its talent just couldn't make it to the Super Bowl again, even with the likes of Richard Dent, William “Refrigerator Perry”, Jim McMahon and Willie Gault.
The Chicago Bears ticket holding fans kept waiting for “next year” when the team would pick up where they left off, but they could never match the amazing season and wouldn't see another trip to the Super Bowl. In 2005 with star linebacker Brian Urlacher and quarterback Rex Grossman the team finally came together again. Finally the Chicago Bears gave fans what they wanted, another trip to the Super Bowl. But the Bears couldn't pull off a win and lost to the Colts 29-17.
The Chicago Bears during the off season acquired pro-bowl quarterback Jay Cutler from the Broncos. With a 4000 yard pass record, the team may have gotten a golden goose. Hopefully though, the change won’t result in some rotten eggs. The Chicago Bears didn't do much to upgrade their receivers in the off season though.
